The problem is most likely in the transfer case or the linkage. The transfer case is bolted to the rear of the transmission on that truck. The linkage could be misadjusted, there should be three distinct positions for the transfer case, Neutral, Low and High. If you suspect the linkage disconnect the linkage and manually put the transfer case in each position and try it to see if it works, if it does it's the linkage if not the problem is in the transfer case itself.

If your 1990 Bronco II won't shift into 4x4, the issue could be related to the transfer case, the shift linkage, or the vacuum actuator. First, check the shift linkage for any obstructions or damage. If the linkage is functioning properly, inspect the transfer case for fluid levels and possible internal issues. Additionally, verify that the vacuum lines connected to the actuator are intact and that the actuator itself is operational.
